It seems like a lot of money has been given out lately in the NFL. The latest recipient is Los Angeles Rams quarterback, Jared Goff.

The former number one overall pick had an abysmal rookie season with the franchise but ever since they replaced Jeff Fisher with Sean McVay, Goff’s career has exploded in the best of ways.
That duo has gone 24-8 since 2017. Goff has compiled 9,581 passing yards, 65 touchdowns and a 94.7 passer (ninth among active quarterbacks) rating in three seasons.
He’s fresh off of leading this team to the Super Bowl—where he was noticeably the weak link of their offense—a year ago. In just two seasons the turnaround in his game has been astronomical.
At just 24 years old the QB is just scratching the surface of his potential. He must continue the upswing he’s been on of late in order to be considered one of the best players at his position, though he’s being paid like that. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that it will pay him upwards of $32 million a year. In a few years this deal could look like a bargain for Los Angeles.
UPDATE: ESPN’s Adam Schefter has the numbers on the extension for Goff, which includes an NFL-record $110 million guaranteed.
Compensation update: Rams are giving QB Jared Goff a four-year, $134 million extension that includes an NFL-record $110 million guaranteed, per source. It ties him to LA through 2024 season.
